Each week, I'll be dissecting the latest DVD and Blu-ray releases, uncovering hidden gore gems, and rummaging through my VHS collection to bring you some of the most bafflingly beautiful video covers from the '80s.

And come back every Friday for exclusive clips, interviews and cool competitions to get your plasma pumping.

On the new release hit list this week? The Bird With The Crystal Plumage, Who Can Kill A Child, Queens Of Evil, C.H.U.D, and.... *insert cliche drum roll* ....DEAD HOOKER IN A TRUNK. If you're anyone who's anyone, you know that DHIAT will be released this Monday, May 23rd in the UK and Australia. You know what that means? Yep, time to move.

"Honestly, this thing is packed with cool moments. They might not always be completely cohesive, but grindhouse geeks are used to that.

If you want a nuanced plot, watch Chinatown. If you want a thrill-ride that'll occasionally make you spit-take your popcorn and Coke, watch Dead Hooker In A Trunk." ~ Sam Ashurst, Total Film
